Granted: 1903-07-02
Abstract: 12,423. Sabroe, A. May 30. Sifting clay.-Relates to a machine for sifting or separating stones from clay. A box or frame h having a sieve c in its front side is reciprocated in the frame of the machine by a rod l from a crank shaft. A plate v with side flanges is supported against a plate k yieldingly held by springs p. The plate v can be reciprocated vertically in the guides t by a lever m operated by the cam i. A scraper s is reciprocated horizontally by an arrangement of levers operated by the cam g. In operating the machine, the box h is first drawn back in the direction of the arrow, Fig. 1, and clay is then fed in through the opening b. The box is forced forwards, the clay passes through the sieve c into the box, while the stones accumulate on the plate v. The box h is again drawn back, and the clay falls through the open bottom of the box h, and through the opening d in the frame, into a receptacle beneath. The plate v is, at the same time, lowered and then raised, the scraper s being operated so as to remove the stones as the plate v rises.

Abstract: 19,964. Schwarzhaupt, W. Sept. 16. Centrifugal pumps for producing spray. One form is shown in section in Fig. 1. A tube c has a star of cross-tubes c' fitted at its upper end under a disc d, and the whole is rotated by the pulley h<1> carried by the fixed frame or cross-piece i, suspended over the vessel a containing the liquid. On rotating the pulley, the liquid is raised and delivered at the periphery of the disc d, and is then thrown off against the partition plates e, where it is further diffused. The spray is carried away by the current of air generated by the wings or plates f, fixed on the disc. Other forms of apparatus for raising the liquid are shown in Figs. 4 and 5. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the liquid is raised by the external surface of the coned body m, and is delivered by the tubes c' to a gutter n. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the liquid is raised by the internal surface of a similar cone, and is delivered through the holes s, the quantity of liquid raised being regulated by inserting bushes p of different diameters. A simpler form of coned body is also described, in which the disc d, crosstubes c', and the collecting-gutter are dispensed with.

Granted: 1904-07-21
Abstract: 12,182. Jahr, M. R. May 28. Drying fabrics.-In order to preserve the touch and smoothness of the material, woven goods are dried by being passed through passages lying one above the other, in which the temperature of the air is reduced from a high temperature, where the goods enter the apparatus, to the ordinary temperature in the lowerpassages, In the form shown in Fig. 1, the hot air, which as obtained from a heater c placed under the machine, is forced by a fan d into a vertical channel a' and is admitted into the passages b (where the goods are dried) through the adjustable valve-flaps e, which are connected together. A second fan f forces fresh cool air into a pipe g, the branches h, Fig. 2, of which lead into the chambers i, so that the fresh air and hot air are mixed together in regulable proportions before entering the passages. The air escapes from the machine by the exhaust pipe k. In a modification, the two fans d, f are dispensed with and an exhaust fan is placed at the top, fresh air being admitted to the apparatus by adjustable slides fitted in the wall. The channel a<1> and the flaps can also be arranged on the opposite side of the machine.

Abstract: 15,561. Thompson, W. P., [Ges. f³r Drahtlose Telegraph?e]. July 12. Testing.-An indicator for electric oscillations, applicable for determining wave lengths, consists of a glass tube a helically wound with insulated copper wire, which is connected at one end to a metallic handle b and at the other end to a small fluorescent screen c. This screen preferably consists of a sheet of paper coated with barium platino-cyanide crystals and rubbed over with gold leaf.

Inventor: RUSHWORTH FINCH
Filed: 1904-09-09
Granted: 1905-07-06
Abstract: 19,459. Rushworth, F. Sept. 9. Cutting-out.-Coat collar bands are cut out on the " straight " instead of on the " cross," and in such a manner that the centres of the bands come directly on the centre line 2 of a piece of canvas or other fabric, which is woven with the warp threads 1 arranged at progressively decreasing distances apart from the centre of the piece to the outer edges. The weft threads 4 are arranged at equal distances apart, and their number is less per inch than that of the warp threads at the centre of the piece. The weave of the material renders the fabric pliable at the parts where the stand curve 5 is most acute, and when the band is worked and pressed into the proper shape, the stand curve 5 is reduced in length, while the stand edge 6 and leaf edge 7 are increased in length.

Title: Improved Change-box Mechanism of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: SMITH ALFRED
Filed: 1904-11-16
Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 24,827. Smith, A., Leeming, F., and Hudson, C. Nov. 16. Loom change-box motions.-In drop-box motions, the parts transmitting motion to the shuttle boxes oscillate around the same centre as the lay. The shaft k, Fig. 2, driven through bevel gearing &c., including a spring clutch h<9> to guard against breakages, carries the lay-sword k and a segment rim g having a central web, on each side of which are carried segment wheels e, f, moved along the shaft by lever mechanism s<2>, s<3> controlled by pattern mechanism. These segment wheels are thus moved into and out of gear with partly-toothed wheels c, d on a shaft n<2> carried in a bracket m rotating about the centre of the shaft h. A crank a, Figs. 4 and 2, is mounted by an adjustable sliding piece a' on a grooved link a<3>, which is rotated round another crank b by a pin a' secured to the sleeve of the wheel c. The crank b is fixed on an adjustable piece b<2> secured to the hub of the wheel d. The crank a is connected by a rod p to the shuttle box, the varied rotation of the wheels c, d determining the rise or fall of the shuttle boxes to a varying degree. The pattern cylinder is rotated by means of the usual crown-wheel, which however is loose on its shaft, the latter being driven indirectly from the former by a peg 16 on the crown-wheel fitting into the curved slot 17 in a disc 18 secured to the shaft of the crown-wheel. Thus, when lagging- back occurs, the pattern cylinder does not move at once, but dwells until the pin moves to the other extremity of its slot. The shuttle boxes m are adjusted in alignment with the lay by the sliding pieces a<2>, b<2>. According to the Provisional Specification, the segment wheels may be constructed with one-half their teeth in one plane and the other half in another plane, in which case no dwell is required to be given to the pattern mechanism on reversal.

Title: Improvements in Thill Couplings.
Inventor: TAM JOSEPH DEE
Filed: 1904-12-09
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 26,904. Tam, J. D. Dec. 9. Shafts and poles.-A thill coupling-link 1, Figs. 1 and 3, is provided with a forked head 3 having a circular opening 2, which receives the eye 12 of a thill iron 13, and has, at the rear end, a backwardlyinclined slot 7, forming a hook 9, which passes over the bolt 20 of an ordinary axle clip 18. A spring 10, fixed at 11 and projecting into a recess 6, keeps the hook fixed but also allows it to swivel about the bolt 20. The thill iron is connected to the link 1 by a bolt 14, about which it is kept from turning by having diametrical grooves cut in its eye 12, which engage with similar ridges 5 formed on the inner faces of the forks 3. The coupling is disengaged by letting the thill down to the ground, thereby bringing the slot 7 into a vertical position so that the link 1 can be lifted off the bolt 20. The space between the link 1 and the clip 18 is made small enough to prevent the link from rising off the bolt 20 when the thill is in the working position.
